Contact your local government office about zoning laws for shooting and building permits. There are a number of restrictions regarding where you can open a shooting range, the times you can operate it and what you must have in your range.
Determine if you will start an indoor or outdoor shooting range. For an indoor range, consider opening it near a shopping mall or downtown, if zoning allows. You will need room for at least five shooting stalls, room to host classes, bathrooms, a showroom for your rental guns, room for T-shirts, hats and any guns for sale, and room for your cash register. Expect to need at least 3,000 square feet. For an outdoor range, you may want to purchase land outside of city limits or in a rural area. You will need at least two acres for your outdoor range.
Incorporate your business and obtain a federal tax identification number.
Purchase at least $500,000 in liability insurance (see Resources).
Determine the types of services you will offer. An indoor range may have a pistol range, rifle range and paintball, which is a great way to draw in the younger crowd. Both indoor and outdoor ranges may offer firearm safety classes and training for those seeking a concealed carry license. You can offer group classes, events and parties for birthdays, coworkers and bachelors and bachelorettes. If you decide to offer group events, contact a local pizzeria or deli and ask them about catering. Consider putting in vending machines, because customers may spend hours at your range.
Apply for a Federal Firearms License to buy and sell firearms. Expect to pay about $200 for a license, plus $90 for renewals (see Resources).
Become knowledgeable about guns and shooting, if you are not already. You should know details about each of your guns, how they handle and for whom they are appropriate. If you do not have a background in firearms, consider enrolling in the NRA Basic Firearm Training Program. Once completed, become an NRA instructor, unless you intend to hire instructors to teach your classes (see Resources).
Purchase your equipment and supplies. Buy handguns, rifles, paintball guns, paintballs, masks, earplugs, safety goggles, ammunition, targets of various sizes, trap and skeet targets (for an outdoor range) and cleaning supplies (see Resources). Purchase custom T-shirts, hats and infant bodysuits with your logo to sell to satisfied customers.

Guide to Hosting Car ShowsIn Feburary 2016 24,
In Feburary 2016 24,
First, decide on the type of car show you want to hold. Some car shows welcome the general public to show their cars, while others invite certain car dealers exclusively. If you decide to invite only dealers, you can make a list of dealers who sell the types of cars you want to show and send invitation letters to only those dealers.There are endless numbers of themes that car shows can have, including antique cars, modified cars and unrestored cars. Once you've picked a type of car show, you need to advertise as much as possible, both to get participants in the show and to get the general public to come and look at the cars you're showing.
Venue
You need a venue to hold your car show. You should check with the venue to see if you need to fill out any paperwork or if there are any special rules or restrictions or permits that you might need to obtain. If the venue is small, you will probably need to limit the number of cars you can show. If this is the case, consider that parking spaces are about 10 feet by 20 feet, so you can measure the space to determine how many cars you can allow. Remember that in addition to space for the cars you're showing, you will need space for vendor tables and people to walk around, and you'll also need access to power outlets, extension cords or speaker systems in order to run the show effectively. You'll also want to check with the venue to see if there will be bathrooms, garbage or other amenities available.Work with the venue and the people involved in the show to establish rules for the day, such as how close people can get to the cars, whether there will be food and drink allowed, how long the show will last, etc., and post the rules in the venue.
Personnel
Hosting a car show is a very big job and you will want to recruit some volunteers to help you. Tasks that you might want to assign to volunteers the day of the show include site set up and clean up, checking in cars, walking them to their parking spaces, directing traffic and making announcements.
Activities
You may choose to include activities in your car show, such as voting for best car in several classes. Whatever activities you include, make sure you have adequate supplies such as voting sheets, favors and prizes. Many car shows give out trophies to the owners of the best cars.

How to Transfer a Domain to GodaddyIn Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
Before you can actually transfer your domain to GoDaddy, first you need to prepare it. Visit the Whois database (link in Resources) and verify that the email address associated with your domain is correct. This is the email address GoDaddy uses to communicate with you during the transfer process. If the email address is listed as private on the Whois database, contact your current registrar to cancel the private registration. The email address must be publicly viewable on Whois before you can proceed. [ref 1]
Unlocking the Domain and Obtaining the Authorization Code
Once you’ve verified that the email address is correct and public, contact the current registrar to ask them to unlock your domain. The domain must be unlocked by the current registrar before it can be transferred to GoDaddy. You also need to obtain an authorization code from the current registrar. Depending on your registrar, this code may also referred to as a transfer key or an EPP code.
Transferring the Domain to GoDaddy
After you’ve unlocked the domain and obtained the transfer authorization code, visit the GoDaddy website and purchase the domain name transfer (link in Resources). Log in to the GoDaddy Account Manager after the purchase is complete and click “Launch” next to the Domains heading. Select “Transfers,” click “Authorize transfer” and then click “Add now.” Enter the transaction ID and security code in the provided fields and then click “Add.” The transaction ID and security code were sent to your email by GoDaddy when you purchased the domain transfer. Next, select the “Basic” tab and enter the authorization code you obtained from the current registrar of the domain. Click “I authorize the transfer,” choose “Finish” and then click “OK.”
Restrictions and Checking the Progress of Your Transfer
Some domain names require a few additional steps before they can be transferred. UK domains, for example, require that you contact the current registrar and request an IPS tag change. If you’re attempting to transfer a foreign top-level domain, consult your current registrar to determine whether additional arrangements need to be made with them before the transfer can go through.Once you complete the transfer request, monitor the status of the transfer through the GoDaddy Account Manager. Log in to your account and select “Domain Management” on the Domains menu. Select “Transfers” to view the status of your transfer.
